WHAT DO YOGI BERRA, DAN MARINO AND A ROOSTER NAMED LILI HAVE IN COMMON?

THEY’RE ALL FEATURED IN UPCOMING SPRING RELEASES FROM WORD ASSOCIATION.

March 19, 2010

Baseball devotee, John Valerino of Lakeland, Florida is back with his second baseball book, Ted and Joe, Players' Memories of Two Icons with a special introduction by none other than the great Yogi Berra. In his book, Valerino puts it all out there for fans—the behind-the-scenes stuff, the stats, the many photos and the opinions of their teammates and their rivals—everything you always wanted to know about Ted Williams and Joe DiMaggio. If you love the Williams/DiMaggio era or if you just love baseball, this book is for you. It’s as rich and atmospheric as those afternoon double-headers. In the words of the oft-quoted Berra, “this book is the next-best-thing to knowing them…” Although Berra does concede that “Ted was Ted and Joe was Joe.”

Western Pennsylvania sports fans are lining up for sportswriter, George Guido’s Alle-Kiski Sports History, A Century of Sports in the AK Valley Region. Guido’s book boasts hundreds of classic photos, stories, stats, and reminiscences gathered from sources scattered far and wide. Guido, the region’s most knowledgeable sports historian, has created an epic volume that secures for all time, the amazing athletic accomplishments of athletes from the small, mostly blue collar towns clustered along the shores of the Allegheny and Kiskiminetas Rivers. This amazing collection of stories, stats and memories recalls heart-stopping feats, proud victories and a whole lot of blood, sweat, and tears.

Billie Remson, aka Mama B, is back with her fifth feel-good book about life on a farm just for the fun of it. This one is called A Mississippi Morning on Bluebird Hill or Chickens, Chickens and More Chickens! This lovely hardcover book is rich with delightful true-life tales of Billie’s ever-growing flock and enhanced by her colorful photographs. Readers will fall in love with the “girls” in Billie’s hen house, their romances with their dashing roosters, and the irresistible little biddies who get Mama B into so much trouble with husband, Papa Doc who insists they do not need any more chickens on Bluebird Hill.

Legal Advice Book Publishing

Business Book Publishing

One of the best ways attorneys can market their law office is to write a legal advice book. If you are an expert in a specific area of law, becoming a published author catapults you ahead of the competition. You'll spend far less publishing a book than you spend for a Yellow Pages ad - and you'll quickly learn that a book is a far more effective form of marketing.

If you own or manage a business, one of the best things you can do for yourself and for the business is to write a book. This is a more effective form of advertising and promotion than any newsletter or brochure could ever be. As an author, you achieve a credibility and stature that only few business people attain.

Childrens Book Publishing

Christian Book Publishing

Most people who want to publish a children's book are surprised to discover that a book filled with full color illustrations will cost more to produce than they can sell it for. You can have a full color cover, course. And if you want to you can even include up to four pages of color illustrations.

The growth of Christian bookstores over the last few decades testifies to the enormous interest in this subject. If you have an inspiring story to tell - a story about faith, hope, peace - there are people who want to read about it.

Cook Book Publishing

Fiction Publishing

The world seems to have an insatiable appetite for cookbooks. Many cookbooks are merely catalogs of recipes. What we like are cookbooks with personality and we can help you to get your cookbook out into the world. And we can also help you to turn your collection of recipes into a profitable fundraiser for your church or service organization.

Fiction continues to be the most popular categories among writers, even though all of the evidence shows that fiction is the most difficult to sell. If you want to write a novel that can find a niche audience, try the approach of two of our writers: that is, ground your fictional story in the kind of facts that readers can measure.

History Book Publishing

Biography Publishing

In recent years history has become something of a national pastime. We can't seem to get enough of the past, and now the bestseller list includes many history books. Community histories have caught fire around the country, and interest in genealogy has made family history books increasingly popular. We have also noticed a growing interest in company/corporate histories.

You don't have to be rich or famous to write an interesting, successful biography or memoir. But if you have the ability to be brutally (or even humorously) honest about yourself, people will read it. They'll read it because the truth about anyone's life...the unvarnished and detailed truth...is endlessly fascinating.

Military Book Publishing

Non-Fiction Book Publishing

Books about military experiences, and particularly books about World War II, are among the most popular in the nation right now. If you have a war story but you need help with the writing, Word Association can help turn your memories into a book.

Non-fiction is a vast and popular genre. It encompasses all that is written about actual events and real people. It can be a real life mystery, love story, even a comedy. Sometimes there is a thin line between fiction and non-fiction; sometimes non-fiction can be told in a story form like a novel.

Poetry Book Publishing

Self-Help Book Publishing

Few people write poetry to make money, so although we encourage manuscripts from talented poets, we do so with the tacit understanding that you will keep your day job.

This is the section in every bookstore that rings up the highest sales. If you've got a book about how to make people healthier, wealthier or happier, you can sell a lot of books.

Sports Book Publishing

You don't have to be an athlete to write a book about sports, but you do have to be an impassioned expert in some phase of it. Books about golf sell in the millions, and we've got quite a good one on our list. Books about running have been hugely popular for more than 20 years now, starting with The Complete Book of Running in the 1980s. And a sports book doesn't necessarily have to be non-fiction. Check out our superb thriller, Runners' Blood, a novel with a solid scientific grounding.
